CINCINNATI, Nov. 3O.-E. L. Harper, the
arch-wrecker of the Fidelity National bank,
was arraigned in the United States circuit
court this morning before Judge Sage and
pleaded not guilty when called to the bar.
United States District Attorney Burnet
read the law under which the fifty-fivs in.
dictments we're found against Harper, and
then put the query to which the vice pr esi
dent of the late Fidelity replied aS above,
and took his seat The great court room
was packed with pectators, aud within the
railing were many of the leading attorneys
Of the city.
Briggs Swift the president of ''the late, u
came within the railing and sat down at q
deputy's table Mr.. w. H. Chatfield sat
down by him, looking very distingue, but
no doubt wishing he were far away. Judge
Jackson appeared about II O'Clock and took
a seat with Judge Sage. The most satisfao-
tory progress was made in the selection of
the jury, only one peremptory challenge
being made by the government They have
two more. The defense have, as yet, made
no peremtory challenges Each side is en-
titled to three
At ~ o'clock the court took recess.
Deputy Marshal Robson took Harper

Deputy Kiersted and Costello were put in

Higgins, Brown county; j. D. Hodson,
Clinton county; Silas Williamson, Butler
county; Edward Roberts, Warren county;
William Yingling, Lawrence county; q d.
Fisher, Clermont county; Raymond Gee,
Clermont county.
Much merrment was caused when Clerk
Georgi called the name of Peter ]. Brewer,
of Greene county. A spectator without the
bar cried with a lusty voice: "Peter j.
Brewer is dead" 1t was some time before
order could be restored sufficiently to
proceed
Melville Curtis, of Clinton county, failed
to respond when called, and was fined $25
by Judge Sage.
Harper was cheerful, taking great inter.
est in the selection of the jury, and making
frequent suggestions to his counsel

twelve jurors will be selected are princi-

SpAin's National Odor.

Iremembera charming French friend
Of mine who used, now and again, to
give himself a great treat of gigot stuff
fed with garlic after which meal he
woulddrink a few glasses of taiia, smoke
a cigarette or two of caporal, and then
call upon me and invariably kiss me.
His breath was altar of roses or ess,
bouquet compared to the person of an
average Spaniard. BY an extravagant
and continuous consumption of garlic,
these people, men and women, get it in
to their skins. From their skins it
passes into their clothes, so that they
walk about in a small personal atmos-
phere of garlic indescribably sickly and
sickening.
a Spanish gentleman remarked to me
n day in a Madrid saloon, whilst
praising English women, their beauties,
virtues, etc.: ''There is only one fault
| detected in them-their skin has no
perfume. When l kiss a spanish lady's
hand, l smell that delicious national
odor that we all adore; but an English
lady's hand, though ~delicately white
and soft, does not absolutely smell of
any thing p He missed, poor fellow,
the faint Of garlic.

A Valuable Manuscript.

The most magnificent manuscript in
the world is said to be the missal that
accompanied the Papal bull proclaim
ing Henry VIII, of England Defender
of the Faith.n 1t is executed with
wondrous art in letters of gold upon
purple vellum and was received from
the Pope as a present. The German
Government paid the Duke of Hamil-
ton e10,0 600 for 1t, and snapped it up
while the authorities of the British
Museum were trying to get it for IA
lower price. 1t Vas questioned at the
time whether the German Government
had more sense than we had, or more
money than sense, thus to pay $40, 900
for a manuscript ; but, however that
may have been there is very little doubt

SCIENTIFIC.

Professor Judd, in his address at the
last annual meeting of the Geological
Society, showed that minerals were
subject to physiological changes anal
O to those which take place In
plants and animals, though differing In
the form of their manifestations n IN
the time they occupy. They have a
life history, he says, (which is IN part
determined by their ori ginal constitu
ton and in part by the long series OF
slowly varying conditions to which they
have since been subjected. In spite or
the circumstance that their cycles OK
change have extended over periods
by millions Of years, the
nature of their metamorphoses and the
processes by which these have been
brought about are, In all essential re-
spects, analogous to those which take
place in a sequoia or a butterfly" by
this he does not mean that minerals ac-
tually live in the sense in which xiv
ing" is popularity understood, but that,
like animals and plants, they go through
definite cycles of change, dependent on
their environment. Hence the dlstinc-

CROPS FOR FEEDING Cows IN THE
WINTER.-The most prolific and pro-
ductlve crops for the Winter feeding
of cows, are mangels and oats and peas
cut green for hay or good clover hay
The mangels may be made to yield 800
bushels per acre or v more by good
management, which Is enough to feed s
cows 6 months, with 10 or IL pounds OF
the oats and peas fodder and 2 or 3
quarts of bran and peas or corn meal.
Oats and peas on good ground Will yield
4 tons of green fodder; sowing 2 IL
bushels of oats and l IL of peas, per
acre. The crop is cut when it is in
full season and is then in its most
nutritious condition. Sweet III cut
when the ears are half formed is also
an excellent feed for cows in Winter
and will yield 4 tons of dry fodder per
acre.
